> There's no way you can do much on the rPi4 without active cooling. You'd be surprised. YMMV and of course your local climate and your usage patterns do dictate how hot your gear runs, but in my experience adding a small 1$ heat spreader does allow my RPi4 to chug along without going over 60C. Heck, even placing it on the side or placing a coin stack over the processor is enough to keep it running along without ever throttling. Of course if you're constantly running 100% CPU loads then you start to need cooling, whether it's your laptop or desktop or even servers.
